Our first international workshop class yells “Victory!” after CoZE, in downtown Melbourne

It’s been almost four weeks since CFAR touched down in Melbourne, Australia — our first foray into running international workshops, after having thus far limited ourselves to the Bay Area and New York. We dove right in with not one, but two back-to-back four-day workshops, plus a short workshop for Aussie startup Draftable. Some highlights of our trip:

Speaking at the University of Melbourne, to a packed hall of 70+ students and effective altruists, at a great event organized by Effective Altruism Melbourne.

Getting stuck in a standoff with a territorial kangaroo in Woodlands Park.

Playing “real tennis” at the Cope Williams winery, where our two workshops were held. “Real tennis” is the predecessor to the game now known as tennis; its heyday was in the 1700s, and the court at our workshop was one of only about 45 left in the world.
